What's new in Zoom Player v23 beta 2:
Legend : "*" = New "+" = Changed "-" = FixedNew :
* The cached metadata editor now features previous/next buttons that open the media library items in the order visible within the media library prior to opening the editor.Changed :
+ After some changes to the window z-order logic, I'm restoring the Stay on Top feature for Modern-UI, let me know if it's not working perfectly. + The "Auto-Size User Interface to maintain Video Aspect Ratio" setting is now enabled by default for new installations, you can disable it under "Adv. Options / Interface / Position & Size". + The original playback conditions that decide which media engine to use (External, libVLC, etc) are now stored in both the playlist and play history, ensuring that a replay from the playlist or play history interfaces respects the previously used conditions instead of defaulting to the internal media engine. + The advanced options dialog should open slightly faster.Fixed :
- When the "Auto-Size User Interface to maintain Video Aspect Ratio" was enabled, resizing from the sides did not resize the window. - With "Auto-Size User Interface to maintain Video Aspect Ratio" enabled, switching aspect ratios did not automatically resize the player's window to match the new aspect ratio. - Removing all buttons from one of the control overlay's button zones (system, pre-title, fixed and dynamic) would not be applied correctly under some circumstances, showing the previous button selection. - Manually updating a video streaming subscription could update other streaming subscriptions and not only the one selected. - Many compatibility fixes for the external engine.
